Germany, not published, 1940-1947. A total of seven original drawings of which four are hand-coloured pen & ink, and three are watercolours. Various sizes. Loose in recent portfolio.

The pen and ink drawings are signed, dated and framed in passe-partouts [size 48.3 x 35.7 cm]. Most probably the work of the German graphic artist and textile designer Sigmund Franz Xaver Wilhelm Otto von Weech (1888-1982). The watercolours are mounted on thick stock paper (50.0 x 35.0 cm), and are only dated in pencil in the outer right bottom corner (various sizes: 35.7 x 21.6 cm; 41.9 x 33.2 cm; 44.0 x 33.2 cm). A very well executed ensemble; Weech had the gift of simplifying the image, but giving it extra strength in doing so. The two watercolours of tulips are particularly magnificent. A unique item.
